Another rich and delicious 2013 Kistler Chardonnay that's ready to drink... this one has more mineral notes than some other Kistler releases. A great cool-weather white wine, thanks to the generous French oak influence.

Buttery style of Kistler 2014. A little young but WOW! The orange marmalade and tangerine flavors are Awesome. These wine makers are Incredible. This chard fit right in with the Peter Michael and the Judge from Kongsgard tried at same time. This is my favorite Kistler. Bravo , CB 95+.

Love the minerality of this wine. The limestone of the vineyard is evident during the tasting. Fantastic wine! Joined the wine just to get access.

A bit Pastora prime. Dark golden color. Great oakiness. Butter and flowers.
